Chapter 19 - Clara meets her mother
The first meeting lasted thirty minutes.
The second included Clara.
Alessandra sat.
I placed our daughter in a bassinet between us.
Not into Alessandra’s arms immediately.
Her choice.
Clara woke.
Made a small irritated sound.
Alessandra covered her mouth.
Then asked:
“Can I?”
I lifted Clara.
Placed her carefully against her mother.
Alessandra broke.
Not elegant tears.
Full body.
Months of separation coming out at once.
Clara stared up at her.
Then yawned.

Babies are unimpressed by tragedy.
Thank God.
